NZ vs WI Day 2: Mitch Haye and Conway are amazing, and West Indies are in bad shape by evening

News India Live, Digital Desk: If you want to see the real thrill of cricket, then the “second day” (Day 2) of Test cricket is the most important, and exactly the same drama was seen today in the Basin Reserve of Wellington. If you are a fan of Windies, then today may bother you a bit, but there is a faint smile on the faces of Kiwi fans. There were a lot of ups and downs in today’s game, but by the end of the day, New Zealand has turned the tide of the match. The new boy showed his strength (The Debutant’s Impact). Let’s start with today’s ‘hero’. Mitch Hay, who came in place of Tom Blundell who missed the series against Team India, won hearts in his debut match itself. When the team seemed stuck, this young player played a fighting inning of 61 runs. Man, it is not everyone’s cup of tea to show such temperament in the very first match. On top of that, the reliable Devon Conway also managed the innings by scoring 60 runs. Because of these two, New Zealand was successful in scoring 278 runs in the first innings and took a commanding lead of 73 runs in reply to West Indies’ 205 runs. On such pitches, even a lead of 70-80 runs is like gold! “The Late Collapse” of West Indies There is an old saying in cricket “Don’t get out before the end of the day’s play.” But West Indies probably forgot this. When he came out to play his second innings, the pressure of the lead was clearly visible on him. In the evening twilight and cold winds, the Kiwi bowlers attacked. By the end of the day’s play (Stumps), West Indies’ score was 2 wickets for 32 runs. The biggest sadness would be John Campbell’s dismissal, and the Night Watchman’s plan also failed. Now West Indies are still 41 runs behind and their two main players are sitting in the pavilion. There is also a bad news… Amidst the hopes of victory, New Zealand has also suffered a setback. Fast bowler Blair Tickner got injured while fielding. His shoulder was said to be injured and his pain suggested that the matter could be serious. If he is not able to bowl tomorrow, it may become a bit difficult for Kiwi captain Southee. What to expect tomorrow? Tomorrow will be a ‘make or break’ day. Craig Brathwaite and other batsmen who are going to be a headache for the Kiwis are yet to come to the crease. If New Zealand takes 2-3 more wickets in one hour of the morning, then the match will be in their hands. And if Windies survives, it will not be easy to chase runs in the fourth innings.
